Search Results for 'child theme'

Check your site with GTMetrix.com and then follow all the suggests, in particular gzip/deflate, expiration headers, image optimization, remove versioning, minify your style.css, don’t use child theme, use fast server/hosting, remove all themes and plugins you’re not using except the latest twenty-fifteen theme, optimize your wp-config.php file to include absolute paths to your domain name, optimize font loading, limit loading external elements (e.g., social counters slow down page vs simple share buttons), limit number of ad networks (I’ve seen some people with six ad networks each loading java, css, and tracking code…. it’s ‘bloat’), use a local image for gravatars, etc.

I cover a number of these issues in detail in the sticky pagespeed thread. Look for my posts, and probably easier to go backwards from the end of the topic, vs from the start a year ago! 🙂

Ah really, that’s good to know – thanks.

So I should really use Newspaper without child theme… How is best to deal with updates, considering the original code is altered slightly in places?

Might be one of your plugins conflicting with it.
Child theme if often the main culprit for Ajax gremlins, which is why I refuse to use them anymore; also a CSS redirect which Google suggests NOT doing.

I tried this, followed the steps. It installs and you can see the latest version of VC, but the buttons (such as Add new Row, Add new element, settings cog) don’t work. Some javascript problem?

We use Newspaper as a child theme, would this make a difference?

Thanks.

I also changed mine to 250×250 size, after that I created this rule in my child-theme style.css
Add this to your child-theme style.css and change the px size to suite your purpose.

.td-theme-slider.iosSlider-col-1 .td_module_slide {
height: 250px;
}
.td-theme-slider.iosSlider-col-1.td_mod_wrap {
height: 250px;

Found a solution…

I installed the Newsmag-child theme and copied two files from the bbPress installation into the child theme:

• loop-single-topic.php
• loop-single-forum.php

Both of these files can be found in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress.

Paste both files into wp-content/themes/[child_theme_dir] where child_theme_dir = directory of your child theme, usually Newsmag-child unless you’ve made changes to the name of the theme.

In these two files are multiple references to size => 14.

• bbp_get_topic_author_link function handles the avatars under the “Author” column (left-most column in forum index views).
• bbp_get_topic_last_active_id function handles the avatars under the “Fressness” column (right-most column in forum index views).

I am sure there are more times when avatar sizes are being set by bbPress (and I will post them as I find them when I go through and do some cleanup). But, the best way to find them on your own is do a search for the CSS container for the avatar (ex: bbp-topic-freshness-author) in the bbPress template files. Once you find the template file, copy it over to the child theme and make your edits.

Pretty simple once you figure it out!

Hey,

After a little more digging, I think this should be called a bug.

If bbPress is truly supported by the theme, theme buyers shouldn’t have to do more customization in order for it to look as it should.

I did find one topic on the bbPress forums: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-avatar-size/

Basically, in order to make the thumbnail itself bigger, we need the thumbnail to be defined in a template file as part of the main theme install. Since editing core files is a no-no (from a bbPress and theme perspective due to updates), the only way you can fix this (it seems, please correct me if I’m wrong) is to install the Newsmag-child theme, add the different bbPress template files, and edited the values in those newly copied template files.

Oh nevermind, it took me few more minutes to figure out it was my child theme causing the problem, more specifically, the header.php + footer.php files.

Did all the modifications I needed to do to new files and it worked right away.

It works for me …. see: ga-ga.com ….

be sure you did a “clean” install of theme, and deleted old folder and uploaded new folder (don’t “over write”).

Also if using child theme, a LOT of things changed, so you may need to update child theme files if you didn’t do that.

@Lucian, it must be the child theme that’s doing it then. I’ve verified what you said, but it’s still not working. This NEEDS to be a feature of this theme. If I have to go back through all my posts then I better get compensated for my time due to this lack of functionality.

I’ve tried both but get an error when I try to put it in the child theme (Warning: Division by zero in /home/content/xxx/html/wp-content/themes/Newspaper-child/functions.php on line 5) I also even put the js file in both locations. So now the js file is in both child and parent but the code is only in the parent functions.php file.

BTW: I’ve manually set it on recent files so if you’re looking, you’ll have to find an older post (ex. http://aftercredits.com/2014/07/howard-duck-1986/)

Maybe it has something to dot with a child-theme.

In which functions.php did you add the code? In the one in folder ‘Newspaper’ or folder ‘Newspaper-child’?

You’ll need to create a child theme and then edit the “loop-single.php” file. If you’re familiar with coding, this should be a piece of cake, but if not, you might need to get someone else to look at it.
